Arguments and commands

All command-line options (except for -datadir and -conf) may be specified in a configuration file, and all configuration file options may also be specified on the command line. Command-line options override values set in the configuration file. The configuration file is a list of setting=value pairs, one per line, with optional comments starting with the # character.

The configuration file is not automatically created; you can create it using your favorite plain-text editor. By default, dash-qt (or dashd) will look for a file named dash.conf in the dash data directory, but both the data directory and the configuration file path may be changed using the -datadir and -conf command-line arguments.

Platform	Path to data folder	Typical path to configuration file
Linux	~/	/home/username/.dashcore/dash.conf
macOS	~/Library/Application Support/	/Users/username/Library/Application Support/DashCore/dash.conf
Windows	%APPDATA%	(Vista-10) C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\DashCore\dash.conf (2000-XP) C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\DashCore\dash.conf

Note: if running Dash in testnet mode, the sub-folder testnet3 will be appended to the data directory automatically.

Command line arguments

These commands are accurate as of Dash Core version 0.12.2.1.

sendrawtransaction “hexstring” ( allowhighfees instantsend )

Submits raw transaction (serialized, hex-encoded) to local node and network. Also see createrawtransaction and signrawtransaction calls.

signrawtransaction “hexstring” ( [{“txid”:”id”,”vout”:n,”scriptPubKey”:”hex”,”redeemScript”:”hex”},…] [“privatekey1”,…] sighashtype )

Sign inputs for raw transaction (serialized, hex-encoded). The second optional argument (may be null) is an array of previous transaction outputs that this transaction depends on but may not yet be in the block chain. The third optional argument (may be null) is an array of base58-encoded private keys that, if given, will be the only keys used to sign the transaction.
